Yes the LABC inspector was not the slightest bit interested with C&G 2391. My son was working as a sole trader at the time so had insurance, so we wanted him to sign paperwork, however the inspector was not having it, so son said well clearly who ever tests it must be higher qualified to ourselves, my dad has a degree, and that swing it.
We were looking at around £200 for the independent inspector, so clearly I did not want to pay the fees.
It was an error really, builder ran off, and we thought he has registered the work, so we had to get it moved from him to us we thought, however it turned out he had not registered the work to start with, so we could have just done it.
And after all the fuss he did not even pop his head in to look when completed.
We had the papers and we had the test gear, but if I wanted to do it today I would have to do the course and get 18th Edition and buy the book and my test gear will need calibrating and some bits renewed so looking at around £600 to update. So when it came to rewire rest of mothers house, I got some one in to do it. Needed paperwork as seemed likely I would want to rent her house to pay for OAP home.
